––The oily mud waste is one of the main wastes in oil field production process, which also stands as a critical negative factor that impedes the improvement of oilfield environment. The oily mud, which is rich in oil and black viscous compound in appearance, is the solid waste that comes along with the oilfield production. The oily mud mixture has huge amounts in magnitude, and it contains a ce...

A unique membrane filtration system has been installed at several major waste oil hauling operations and manufacturing plants that handle or produce oily wastewater. The system manufactured by New Logic, of Emeryville California near San Francisco, is also being used to process used crankcase waste oil and produce filtrate that can be sold as a higher value bunker oil. The V✧SEP, (Vibratory She...

application of granular activated carbon (gac) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of cod reduction. in this st...

Electrocoagulation is a group of various procedures used for removing contaminants from water by electrochemically dissolving aluminum or iron. The contaminants of the solution may be incorporated in the in situ forming metal hydroxide flocs, which can be filtered as a precipitate or skimmed as a float. The main features of the procedure are highlighted on the example of cleaning of an oily was...

Experimental investigations of electrokinetic phenomena of modified polytetrafluoroethylene membranes in the oily sewage from oil field were performed by using the streaming potential method. The zeta potentials of the membranes in the oily waste water are estimated on the basis of Helmholtz—Smoluchowski equation. The experiment and calculation results show that the membranes are charged negati...

On the basis of key ways of oily waste treatment in Russia which has been described in the article and on the example of oil-contaminated soil (OCS) treatment there can be considered two most widespread technologies: bioremediation and thermal recovery. We developed the process flow sheet of the equipment (UT-2S) for industrial oily wastes treatment on the basis of high temperature air tight de...

bubble column reactors are used in a wide variety of applications such as multiphase bioreactors, catalytic slurry reactors, and absorption processes. the superficial gas velocity-gas holdup relationship and transition point are two important parameters for characterizing the hydrodynamics of a bubble column reactor. in this study, systematic investigation of a nitrogen - water - glass beads bu...

The recent development in oil and gas industry increases the production and consumption of oil. The enormous amount of oily wastewater produced is urged to be treated to prevent humanity and environment from being threatened. Membrane technology is an appealing alternative for oily wastewater treatment due to its design simplicity, energy efficiency and environmentally benign approach. In this ...
